Quilt Construction
Accurate cutting and sewing is very important. Hint: Use "Best Press"
or spray starch at each step for fabric that acts more like "cardboard or
paper" than fabric.
The Michell Marketing Kaleidoscope 60 Degree Ruler has excellent
instructions for using the ruler. Please refer to the instructions as a
supplement to the steps shown in this pattern.
There are 2 Main Blocks in the quilt top. Let's cut all the kaleidoscope
and half square triangles that will be used in both of the blocks first then
assemble the blocks.
1
Kaleidoscope Triangles (KT): Align the 8" Block guideline on the ruler
with the bottom of the 4½"x 22" assorted print strip. Cut 8 triangles
from one strip. Repeat to cut a total of 336 Kaleidoscope Triangles from
the 42 strips.
